"I was invited to sit in on the 6-week Blockchain and Insurance sprint. I intended to drop by once per week, with maybe an hour. I ended up attending 2-3 days per week, staying for 1/2 day or more. The staff and facilitators did well, engaging the 12 attendees. The activities were taken very seriously and the results evidenced knowledge expansion."

" The Free Taster was a fantastic opportunity to sample Cookhouse Lab’s unrivalled knowledge of innovation in the re/insurance field and of potential synergies between insurtechs and incumbents. I have taken part in a number of Design Thinking workshop, but this one was by far the best: it exceeded my expectations for as it was very well organised, smoothly led, and it gave a clear sense of purpose to all participants. A success."
